EVER, It is a great privilege to be the current President of EVER. The executive committee, the EVER board and the logistic staff are working hard to maintain the quality and the attractiveness of this unique meeting in Europe. EVER is a subtle combination of basic and clinical research that is able to satisfy the expectations of both clinicians and researchers, which remains a challenge and one of our greatest ambitions. Listening to your feedback, attendees, speakers and pharma partners included, we have prepared with the commitment of our Program Secretary, Francesca Cordeiro, a new and con- densed format for 2018. We do sincerely hope that this alchemy will produce a fruitful and successful meeting for most of you. I am very heartened by the enthusiasm and the achievements of the young generation to EVER, and I greatly appreciate their contribution. Now we have Gauti Johannesson, representing this new generation and sitting in our EVER board.

  • Short-Term Rapamycin Persistently Improves Cardiac Function After Cessation of Treatment in Aged Male and Female Mice
    Short-term rapamycin persistently improves cardiac function after cessation of treatment in aged male and female mice. Ellen Quarles A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2017 Reading Committee: Peter Rabinovitch, Chair Michael MacCoss David Marcinek Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Pathology © Copyright 2017 Ellen Quarles University of Washington Abstract Short-term rapamycin persistently improves cardiac function after cessation of treatment in aged male and female mice. Ellen Quarles Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Peter Rabinovitch, Professor and Vice Chair of Research Department of Pathology Cardiac aging is an intrinsic process that results in impaired cardiac function and dysregulation of cellular and molecular quality control mechanisms. These effects are evident in the decline of diastolic function, increase in left ventricular hypertrophy, metabolic substrate shifts, and alterations to the cardiac proteome. This thesis covers the quality control mechanisms that are associated with cardiac aging, results from an anti-aging intervention in aged mice, and a review of mitochondrial dysfunction in the heart. Chapter one is a review of the quality control mechanisms in aging myocardium. Chapter two consists of the results of several mouse experiments that compare the cardiac function, proteomes, and metabolomes of aged and young controls, along with rapamycin treated aged mice. The novelty of this study comes from the inclusion of a group of animals treated only transiently with the drug, then followed for eight weeks post-drug-removal. This persistence cohort may hold clues to deriving long-lasting benefits of rapamycin with only transient treatment.

  • Mental Health Among Young Women in Saudi Arabia: a Mixed Methods
    Mental Health Among Young Women In Saudi Arabia: A mixed Methods Approach Hissah Alzahrani A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment for the requirements for the award of Doctor of Philosophy University of Central Lancashire May, 2019 i Declaration I declare that while registered as a candidate for the research degree, I have not been a registered candidate or enrolled student for another award of the University or other academic or professional institution. I declare that that no material contained in the thesis has been used in any other submission for an academic award and is solely my own work. Signature of Candidate: Type of Award: Doctor of Philosophy School: School of Psychology ii Abstract This thesis aims to gain an understanding of the mental health of young women in Saudi Arabia. To achieve this broad aim, this thesis, which encompasses two studies, employs a mixed methods approach. Study 1 is a longitudinal quantitative study that aims to examine the trajectories of university students ’ mental health—via the change in their mental health and their ability to adjust—by assessing them over three time points during their first year at university. This study also examined whether theoretically relevant determinants, such as trait emotional intelligence (EI), emotional self-efficacy (ESE), social support and loneliness, affected the students’ mental health trajectories and adjustment to university life. The results show that the mean level of mental health problems was low and did not change significantly over time, while the adjustment level decreased over the first year of university. The results indicated that even in students with a high adjustment level in the beginning of their university year, the level decreased over time.

  • The Prevention of Trauma Reactions Tracey Varker Doctor of Philosophy
    The Prevention of Trauma Reactions Tracey Varker Doctor of Philosophy July 2009 Tracey Varker PhD Thesis Abstract Abstract Exposure to traumatic or stressful events has been linked to the development of trauma symptomatology in a minority of individuals for some time now. Although there have been many studies which have examined the nature and aetiology of trauma reactions, few researchers have examined whether it is possible to prevent reactions to trauma. This is somewhat surprising, given the impact that an adverse trauma reaction can have to both an individual and an organisation (if the individual is also an employee). One exception is the body of work which has been created by researchers who investigated the psychological intervention known as psychological debriefing. This intervention has been designed to be administered immediately after an individual experiences a traumatic event, and is said to mitigate an individual’s reaction to trauma. The scientific evidence for this intervention, however, has been equivocal. At the time that this thesis was being prepared, there were only two published randomised controlled trials of group debriefing. In addition, the impact of psychological debriefing upon an individual’s memory for a traumatic event had never before been examined. This is important to note, because in many instances an individual who is a witness to a crime, will receive psychological debriefing before they give a statement to police officers. For Study 1, a randomised controlled trial of group debriefing was conducted. The aim was to assess the effect of this intervention upon eyewitness memory for a stressful event and eyewitness stress reactions, with a sample drawn from the general community ( n = 61).

  • Framing in Design
    INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ENGINEERING DESIGN, ICED15 27-30 JULY 2015, POLITECNICO DI MILANO, ITALY FRAMING IN DESIGN: A FORMAL ANALYSIS AND FAILURE MODES Vermaas, Pieter (1); Dorst, Kees (2,3); Thurgood, Clementine (2) 1: Delft University of Technology, Netherlands; 2: University of Technology Sydney, Australia; 3: Eindhoven University of Technology, Netherlands Abstract This contribution presents a formal description of the design practice of framing and identifies two general modes in which framing can lead to failure in design projects. The first is called the goal reformulation failure mode and occurs when designers reformulate the goal of the client in a design task and give design solutions that solve the reformulated goal but not the original goal. The second is called the frame failure mode and occurs when designers propose a frame for the design task that cannot be accepted by the client. The analysis of framing and its failure modes is aimed at better understanding this design practice and provides a first step towards arriving at criteria that successful applications of framing should meet. The description and the failure modes are illustrated by critically considering an initially successful case of framing, namely the redesign of the Kings Cross entertainment district in Sydney.

  • Splicing Repression Is a Major Function of Tdp-43 in Motor Neurons
    SPLICING REPRESSION IS A MAJOR FUNCTION OF TDP-43 IN MOTOR NEURONS: THERAPEUTIC IMPLICATIONS FOR AMYOTROPHIC LATERAL SCLEROSIS by Aneesh N. Donde A thesis submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland May, 2018 Title: Splicing Repression is a Major Function of Tdp-43 in Motor Neurons Ph.D Dissertator: Aneesh N. Donde Ph.D Advisor: Philip C. Wong, Ph.D Abstract Nuclear depletion of TDP-43, an RNA binding protein which serves to protect the transcriptome by repressing aberrant splicing, may underlie neurodegeneration in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). As multiple functions have been ascribed to TDP-43, whether splicing repression is its major role in motor neurons – that may be compromised in ALS – remains to be established. Here, we show that TDP-43 mediated splicing repression is central to the physiology of motor neurons. To validate TDP-43 mediated splicing repression as a therapeutic target, an AAV9-mediated gene delivery approach was employed to deliver a chimeric protein comprised of the N-terminal RNA recognition domain of TDP-43 fused to an unrelated splicing repressor (RAVER1) to mice lacking TDP-43 in motor neurons. This strategy allowed long-term expression of the repressor without any untoward effects, delayed the onset and slowed the progression of disease, and extended survival. In treated mice, evidence of aberrant splicing was markedly decreased and accompanied by amelioration of motor neuron loss. These findings establish that splicing repression is a principal role of TDP-43 in motor neurons and support the idea that loss of TDP-43-mediated splicing repression represents a key pathogenic mechanism underling motor neuron loss, validating a novel mechanism-based therapeutic strategy for ALS.

  • How Mental Health, Sojourner Adjustment, and Drinking Motives Impact Alcohol-Related Consequences for College Students Studying Abroad
    Syracuse University SURFACE Dissertations - ALL SURFACE December 2015 HOW MENTAL HEALTH, SOJOURNER ADJUSTMENT, AND DRINKING MOTIVES IMPACT ALCOHOL-RELATED CONSEQUENCES FOR COLLEGE STUDENTS STUDYING ABROAD Laura Kay Thompson Syracuse University Follow this and additional works at: https://surface.syr.edu/etd Part of the Student Counseling and Personnel Services Commons Recommended Citation Thompson, Laura Kay, "HOW MENTAL HEALTH, SOJOURNER ADJUSTMENT, AND DRINKING MOTIVES IMPACT ALCOHOL-RELATED CONSEQUENCES FOR COLLEGE STUDENTS STUDYING ABROAD" (2015). Dissertations - ALL. 408. https://surface.syr.edu/etd/408 This Dissertation is brought to you for free and open access by the SURFACE at SURFACE. It has been accepted for inclusion in Dissertations - ALL by an authorized administrator of SURFACE. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Abstract The topic of college student drinking has been widely addressed in the literature. Traditional-aged college students are considered to be an at-risk population in terms of the problematic use of alcohol, putting them at risk for a wide range of negative consequences. College students who study abroad are a sub-group of students who may be vulnerable to increased alcohol-related consequences due to variables associated with being in an unfamiliar environment where alcohol is often more accessible. While previous studies have explored the impact that a range of factors has on alcohol-related consequences for students abroad, none has examined the impact that mental health has on consequences. The present study sought to address this gap in the literature by sampling college students (N = 157) who were participating in a study abroad program during Spring 2015.
